DS being bullied again, insensitive teacher

[AuditAngel]

DS has been bullied, picked on and generally teased most if the way through primary school. We are now almost at the end of year 6.

The children are doing a play, and DS has been given the part with the comedic name. He is now being teased about it.

He has asked for a different part, and it has been refused.

AIBU to ask the teacher to change the name of his character, or say he is not taking part?

I think the teacher has not thought it through. i hope he would not do this deliberately, but I have had enough of my 10 year old crying.

I am now at the stage that I would be prepared to keep him home and provide a letter saying that participating was too stressful.

Ashbeeee i did the same. Pity there isnt a school wide program that does this. :(

Thanks everyone. We didn't manage to get the letter done in the rush if getting dressed up for Agnatha Carta day today, but he was feeling much more positive and said he'll talk to the teacher. We are going to an interview at the High School tomorrow, so he is looking forward to that.

He's also had a great evening at a schools music festival, so with lots of kids that enjoy the same things as him.

We'll see how the week pans out. I am lucky as my boss has children (his daughter and DS actually share a birthday) and is happy for me to go to the school as and when needed.

Ashbee I might ask him tomorrow, when we have some time on our own, and see if he wants to do role play. In the past I've just given him the giggles, but that is good medicine too!

Thanks again.

However I fear you could be right.
